Re: Amazing Race 22 Pool

My snowmobile seems to be running out of gas... I am falling further and further behind! And I had such high hopes for my group... too bad my reserve team was out before I even had the chance to pull them from the bench.

Still reigning champs, Team Maybs has started a love train in first place. They lost Chuck & Wynonna but have this week’s first and second finishing couples (Anthony & Bates and Beth & Mona) on their team. They’re hoping their team captains do the Locomotion to first place in the final episodes!

Dixie Drifters is whistling Dixie in second place. They’ve made some progress in closing the gap between themselves and Team Maybs and are only 10 points away from them. We’ll see if the Dixie Drifters continue to drift up the leaderboard or if the paddlewheel gets in the wrong current and starts drifting down the river.

Buckeye Brawlers kept close to Dixie Drifters, brawling to hold their place in third. They’re grooving to “Bus Rider” by the Guess Who, keeping themselves pumped up to finish strong in the race.

Better Luck This Time continued their rise up the leaderboard, going from fifth place to fourth. They’re singing “Good Luck Charm” by Elvis and using all the lucky charms they can fit on the tugboat so that their luck holds out and keeps them advancing.

Also in fourth place and also turning to charms to help them out are Mischief Managed. They soared from seventh place to fourth on their Firebolt, seeking the Golden Snitch at the final pit stop. They’re hoping to waltz into mischief and get the snitch before anyone else.

Phil’s Eyebrow fell one spot to fifth place. The dog sled team doesn’t need to feel like they’re on the Greyhound bound for nowhere. They still have their team captains, Anthony & Bates, plus Joey & Meghan are hanging on so they can turn things around.

Slap Shot Express and Team Phileas Fogg both rose up the leaderboard this week. Slap Shot was in eleventh place last week and Phileas Fogg was in tenth. They’re hot and they’re cold, they’re yes and they’re no, and this week, they’re up and not down!

Philbrow and Sundays with Phil are also traveling together this week. This week, they’re in seventh place. Last week, Philbrow was in ninth place and Sundays With Phil was in sixth. Clowns to the left of them, jokers to the right, they’re stuck in the middle with each other.

This race is all part of Rock’m Sock’m's rock 'n roll fantasy, as they fulfill their dream of moving up from thirteenth place to eighth. They love rock n’ roll and are playing it loud on their motorcycle as they put the pedal to the metal and roar up the leaderboard!

Betting on Japan and Kaninhop Champs one spot to ninth place. They can’t figure out if they’re turning Japanese or doing the bunny hop and the distraction is holding them back. They need to turn their vehicle into a demolition rickshaw to start gaining ground again.

Crazy Cats did the Stray Cat Strut from twelfth place to tenth. The sandcat is looking to rock this town and not end up sexy and seventeenth place.

Revenge of the Amazing Bellies has moved up from fourteenth place to eleventh. The beer wagon has recovered from their misfortunes and is out for revenge, making Taylor Swift’s song “Better Than Revenge” their new anthem as they race to make up lost time.

7 Non Blondes and John are in twelfth place. They’re boo-hoo-hoo’ing to Patsy Cline’s “Seven Lonely Days” as they think about all the other teams that have passed them by in their jeep. They had sweet dreams of winning the pool this season, and were crazy enough to think they could do it, but now they’re experiencing heartaches and walking after midnight to forget their disappointment.

The Alabama Skinners are in thirteenth place but in a precarious position now that their team captains Chuck & Wynonna are out. It seems the closer the Skinners get their swamp buggy to the pit stop, the further they fall down the leaderboard.

Supreme Mediocrity is in fourteenth place. They’re crying for the Alabama Skinners to stop in the name of love and let them pass. You can’t hurry love but you can hurry your helicopter to the pit stop and avoid last place in the pool.

The Commanders of Awesome is in last place. They have all the answers and command everyone to dance. Ain’t no reason to celebrate but you know we gon’ have a ball, champagne spillin’ from the wall.

Mischief Managed and Rock’m Sock’m got the highest weekly score! They each win a trip to Bora Bora to hang out with Anthony & Bates after the race.

Yeah, more than likely it won't be enough to stay in first. You did do very well, though, and made good choices for this pool and the Survivor pool. That's really something to be in the top three in two pools at the same time!

I just noticed that Dixie Drifters and Buckeye Brawlers have the same team members left so they're going to stay the same distance from each other to the end.

It will be interesting to see how things turn out in the final episodes. There are a couple of pool teams near the top of the leaderboard so it's hard to predict who will win it all.
